Description

ImageBuilder supports the use of user data in an image build recipe. This is a necessity for AMIs that don't have SSM preinstalled. The cli supports support this feature with the userDataOverride argument.

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_imagebuilder_image_recipe" "myrecipe" {
user_data_override = <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
etc...
EOF
}

Hey @jeffadams 👋 Thank you for taking the time to open this! We'll take a look at this whenever time allows (unless someone from the community beats us to it!). I took a quick glance around in the meantime, and wanted to leave a couple of helpful links for whoever looks at this next:

type CreateImageRecipeInput has a AdditionalInstanceConfiguration field, which in turn has a UserDataOverride field of type string, so this seems like it should be possible.
